So so good! My mother and I had a very good experience for dinner, the vibe was very casual yet elevated, and the service was incredible. We ended up having a couple of small plates and each a main course. I recommend the pouched hen egg for a starter and the cheese board for sharing pared with recommended wine. We didn’t have any wine but the cocktails were delicious and nothing like I’ve ever tried! Creative menu, and the dessert was amazing. Definitely going to come back to try their brunch.

Came here during restaurant week and it did not disappoint! For the first dish I got the Crispy Pig Head green tomato conserva and this was on of the best dishes I have ever had! The pork was delicious and paired perfectly with the Dijon misted on it. The second dish I got was Pork Belly Clam Stew which was also great and had a nice broth accompanying the protein. For the dessert portion I tried the dessert soup out of curiosity and it was tasty but would have just preferred a regular apple crisp over a watery version. Overall the trip was excellent the server was great and the environment in bright and welcoming. I definitely plan to go back.

The first time I came to this establishment was due to a Groupon which was offering dance classes for couples. I loved it and the hall was so big. I recommended it to my cousin for my neice sweet 17. I was so amazed to see how the new owners had made it even more beautiful. Everyone who worked their was so friendly and attentive. I was told they offer brunch and I have to come back to experience more than just dancing lol. I can't wait. If ever your in the area I definitely recommend this place. Let me know what you guys think. #vegan-ish

Great little wine bar with a cute market attached. We had the cheese plate and the venison, which were both amazing. I really appreciated the knowledgeable servers who were able to talk about the wine on the menu. I also loved that I could go buy the bottle of wine in the market that I had tried in the restaurant! Looking forward to coming back again.

Interesting and creative menu. Outdoor seating is great: many tables, views of the bridge, shady at dinner time from the building. I had a pressed pig head, which was soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. The mushrooms with quiche and potato was my main entree, and I liked it. Ginger cake with cranberries was delicious. The service was attentive and friendly.

Finally made our way in for brunch and were, unsurprisingly, pleased! Bloodys were spicy and flavorful, eggs were cooked to perfection, menu was to die for.

We love this place and go often. The menu is small and the food is simple, creative and high quality (I always get the cheese board!), cocktails are excellent, and a nice selection of beer and wine. The small staff is attentive, warm, and knowledgeable. People watching inside and out is great. One of my favorite spots in town.

The poached hen egg is truly one of the best things you’ll put in your mouth in this town. The food at Raleigh is exceptionally good. Small menu delivers on everything - fresh, delicious, and perfectly prepared. I’m not much of a wine person, but can vouch for the cocktails which are excellent. The ambiance is casual yet elevated. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Honestly not sure why this place isn’t packed every single night. Then again, I’m glad it’s not...
